<p>Haha, that was my plan. Hopefully I will come for a summer visit or something (and maybe take a class at the AUC?). </p>
<p>Last time I visited was the summer before the revolution. I got really depressed there, because nothing was like how I remembered it. Hopefully this time I can find happiness in doing something that would change the country, and in surrounding myself with good people and going to the beautiful places in and out of the city =)</p>

<p>i think you should do a visit for a month or two to egypt before deciding to live permanently in here .. reality might be 180 degrees different than the image you have in mind.<br/>living in egypt isn't hell as it might seem to be .. it depends on where do u live and your work place and areas where you hang out at .. usually with the right place and right crowd you won't feel any difference in the life style.</p>

<p>Ooh that's interesting. I haven't heard of him. All I know of are Yusuf El Kharabaway and Ahmad Douma who left. That's good. I hope that with the whole "shar3eya" shit, people don't switch to the Brotherhood's side. </p>
<p>Yes, I found the video hilarious. But feels like howa f waady w homa f waady taany khaless. But I gained respect for the guy... can't believe he was so patient! i would have just death glared at them and walked out loool. </p>

<p>That's very tiny, but I guess it is probably really huge for someone who lives there. My problem is that despite people becoming brave and rebelling against their society, in such a repressed and authoritarian country, this rebellion does not often reflect on the wider community. But then again, I'm looking from the outside in and I probably don't know as much as you do. </p>

<p>they are connected by a way or another .. not necessarily by being active members of the MB but at least they share the same ideology .. they share the same target which is that islam dominates the world.<br/><br/></p>
